"I don't know what secret realm it is."
Since he had just arrived, he knew almost nothing about the Wushuang Continent except for a few pieces of information.
This was different from when he entered the Realm of Beasts and the Soaring Dragon Realm.
These two realms could be considered to be under the overall environment of the Nine Regions. When cultivators entered them, under the operation of heaven's secret, they could get some basic information about these two realms, and even get an identity suitable to integrate into them.
But now, Lu Ye and the others had lost contact with Tianji of the Nine Regions. How could they get any information from Tianji?
However, listening to the meaning of the man's words, this secret realm didn't seem to be a secret realm in his understanding. It was more like a force with the characteristics of the Wushuang Continent.
"Little brother, you didn't come from the secret realm?" The man was surprised.
Lu Ye shook his head.
His identity was still a problem. He could try his best to hide it, but since he wanted to find someone to inquire about information, it was inevitable that he would reveal some flaws. So Lu Ye said the words he had thought of long ago.
I don't know where I came from. I've lived there since I was young. This is my first time out.
The man suddenly understood. "So that's how it is!"
Soduso, cc first.
It wasn't strange. Although after the apocalypse, the major sects in the cultivation world abandoned their sectarian views and huddled together for warmth, people's hearts were complicated. After all, there were some strong cultivators who lived alone outside for various reasons. It was common to adopt a homeless orphan to accompany them and teach them carefully.
So he didn't think too much about Lu Ye's explanation. Because in today's Wushuang Continent, people like Lu Ye often appeared, but they were short-lived.
"Cough cough …" The man's injury flared up and he coughed violently again. Blood flowed out of his mouth, but the blood was no longer red. It was obviously showing signs of turning into corpse blood.
Even his whole body was covered in a layer of corpse qi visible to the naked eye.
"There are two kinds of corpse poisons."
After knowing that Lu Ye was the kind of person who had not experienced the current Wushuang Continent and had no understanding of the current situation of the human race, the man explained while gasping for breath, "Although ordinary corpse poisons affect cultivators, as long as they resist and resolve it in time, it's not a big deal. But the Origin Corpse Poison is different … It's the power of the corpse clan's origin. There's no cure, and after death, it will inevitably turn into a corpse clan. "
Looking down at the wound on his chest, he smiled sadly and looked up at Lu Ye: "So I can't be saved."
This was also the reason why he was unwilling to take the antidote pill.
In the post-apocalyptic world, elixirs were precious. Not to mention the antidote elixir, even the most basic elixir used for cultivation could not be wasted.
This kind of thing was something that the cultivators of the Nine Regions could never understand.
"Little brother, as a fellow human, I have a favor to ask of you." The man's chest heaved up and down violently. "Send them back to the stronghold. You probably have nowhere else to go. Just go to the stronghold and you'll have a place to stay."
"Alright." Lu Ye nodded, but still took out a detoxification pill from his storage pouch and handed it to the man. "Take this pill first."
He had the Talent Tree with him, so he basically wouldn't be poisoned. Naturally, he wouldn't be equipped with any antidotes. However, he had killed so many cultivators from the Myriad Demons Ridge and obtained all kinds of spoils of war. He had also accumulated a lot of antidotes.
"This elixir …" The man stared blankly at the antidote pill in Lu Ye's hand. He felt that this pill's quality was beyond his imagination. It was higher than any elixir he had ever seen.
In the post-apocalyptic world, the cultivation world had been greatly affected. Many inheritances had been cut off and the standard of alchemy was no longer what it was before.
Although there was an alchemist in the stronghold, the elixirs refined by that alchemist were simply unsightly compared to this one.
While he was in a daze, Lu Ye flicked the elixir into the man's mouth.
When he instinctively swallowed it, the man wrung his hands and lamented, "Little brother, you … ai!"
In the end, he was still a greenhorn. Even though he had already told him that there was no cure for the Origin Corpse Poison, he still couldn't help but want to try. It was truly a waste to waste such a high-quality elixir on someone who was bound to die.
However, his heart calmed down.
People's hearts were complicated. You could know a person's face but not their heart. This young man in front of him was so generous, so he presumably didn't have a bad heart. He was relieved to entrust the two women to Lu Ye.
After swallowing the elixir, some hope seemed to ignite in the man's eyes and he began to refine it.
Lu Ye watched closely.
He didn't know whether or not the Antidote Pill would work, but what if it did?
Moreover, he had countless such elixirs in his Storage Space. The man regarded them as a standard, but if Lu Ye wanted, he could eat them like beans.
After a short while, the man's aura suddenly became chaotic and he spat out another mouthful of blood. This time, the blood began to turn a dark green colour.
The Antidote Pill was useless!
Lu Ye frowned. It seemed that the man's words were true. The Origin Corpse Poison wasn't something a mere Antidote Pill could cure.
If only Hua Ci were here. With her methods, she would definitely be able to bring the dead back to life.
"Uncle Yu!" The young girl hurriedly stepped forward and stroked the man's back with tears in her eyes. While Lu Ye was talking to the man, the young girl had been sobbing to the side.
She was the hope of the stronghold's future and this was the first time she had left the stronghold with everyone, but she didn't expect such a terrible thing to happen.
For the young girl who had never experienced anything like this before, the changes in the short span of two hours made her feel as if the sky was about to collapse.
"Husband!"
The woman who had left earlier turned back and hurried to the man's side.
The man smiled, "Fortunately, I made it in time. I didn't break my promise."
The woman couldn't help but shake her head. Her tears were like broken pearls, falling down uncontrollably.
"You have to live well. It's not easy to survive in this world. You have to live well for me!" The man stretched out his hand, as if wanting to touch the woman's face for the last time, but his hand fell powerlessly to the ground.
His vitality dissipated!
His injuries were heavy and he was already at the end of his rope. The only reason he had held on until now was to see the woman one last time.
The young girl covered her mouth and stood to the side, holding back her tears. She was heartbroken.
The woman's expression was strangely calm. She grabbed her husband's hand and gently stroked it on her face, revealing a sad but beautiful smile, "Husband, without you, what meaning is there for me to live?
The young girl was startled and cried out in shock, "Aunt Shen!
She wanted to rush over as she spoke, but it was too late.
After the woman finished speaking, she dispersed the protective spiritual power around her body and concentrated all her power on her other hand. She raised her hand and slammed it down on her chest.
Under this palm, her chest caved in and her heart meridians were severed. The woman opened her mouth and spat out a mouthful of blood, her vitality faintly discernible.
Lu Ye didn't expect this woman to be so infatuated and decisive. She had clearly made up her mind on the way back. By the time he reacted, it was already too late to stop her.
"Aunt Shen!" The young girl threw herself on the woman and burst into tears.
The woman wasn't dead yet. Her voice was like a mosquito as she finally reminded the young girl, "Remember … to take care of the corpse."
Her head hung down and buried in the man's chest.
The young girl cried with extreme sorrow. Lu Ye stood to the side and watched silently. For the first time, he truly felt the hardships of survival in this apocalyptic world.
After a long time, the young girl gradually stopped crying and stood up. She looked at Lu Ye with red and swollen eyes, "Senior Brother … is your spiritual power of the fire attribute?"
Just now, Lu Ye had rushed out and killed the Corpse Clan with a single slash. The attribute of his spiritual power was naturally seen by the young girl.
At that time, Lu Ye's entire body was wrapped in fiery red spiritual power, looking like a burning fireball.
Lu Ye nodded.
"May I trouble you to burn the bodies of Uncle Yu and Aunt Shen?
Is that so? Because of the Corpse Clan, there is a certain probability that they will turn into a Corpse Clan member, especially those who have been poisoned by the Origin Corpse Poison. I don't want Uncle Yu and Aunt Shen to … "
She was afraid that Lu Ye would misunderstand, so she deliberately explained.
This was also the reason why the woman left to deal with the bodies of her companions.
There were many rules of survival in the apocalyptic world. If possible, timely disposal of the dead bodies was one of them.
Only in this way could the increase in the number of Corpse Clan members be curbed and not let former companions become enemies.
For such a small matter, Lu Ye naturally agreed. He raised his hand and shot out a fire dragon, enveloping the man and woman's bodies and quickly burning them to ashes.
The young girl dug a hole not far away and buried the burned bodies in the hole. Only then was she done.
Lu Ye stood quietly to the side, thinking about the various information he had just received.
At this time, Ying Wuji had already returned from the ruined city.
Just as Lu Ye expected, he did not find any valuable clues. Not to mention a person, he did not even see the shadow of a ghost.
All that was left were pieces of broken walls and rubble …
He hurried back, but did not see any trace of Lu Ye.
Ying Wuji was first happy, then shocked.
He was happy that he had finally gotten rid of Lu Yiye. To be honest, as a ghost cultivator, he did not feel safe traveling with someone like Lu Yiye.
He always felt that Lu Yiye would suddenly pull out a blade and stab him.
He felt …
But on second thought, this world was full of danger. When he had just arrived, he had almost encountered a life and death crisis. If Lu Yiye had not helped in time, he would have been dead.
Being alone might not be as safe as being with Lu Yiye.
But now, there was no trace of him.
Did this guy dump him?
Ying Wuji could not help but feel angry, but on second thought, he felt that something was wrong.
If Lu Yi Ye really wanted to get rid of him, all he needed to do was say a word. They didn't have much of a friendship to begin with, and Ying Wu Ji was a respectable person. He couldn't just shamelessly follow Lu Yi Ye around.
Moreover, Lu Yiye had given him a Sound Transmission Stone before this.
Did something happen that caused him to leave temporarily?
As this thought flashed through his mind, Ying Wuji took out the voice transmission stone, poured his Spiritual Power into it, and asked, "Lu Yiye, where are you?"
